This position paper argues that there is an urgent need to restructure markets for the information that goes into AI systems. Specifically, small-to-medium sized producers of information (such as journalists, news organizations, researchers, and creative professionals) need to be able to appoint rep…
Entropy Minimization (EM) is beneficial to reducing class overlap, bridging domain gap, and restricting uncertainty for various tasks in machine learning, yet its potential is limited. To study the internal mechanism of EM, we reformulate and decouple the classical EM into two parts with opposite ef…
Scene flow provides the fundamental information of the scene dynamics. Existing scene flow estimation methods typically rely on the correlation between only a consecutive point cloud pair, which makes them limited to the instantaneous state of the scene and face challenges in real-world scenarios wi…
Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) enables deep neural networks to adapt to arbitrary distributions during inference. Existing TTA algorithms generally tend to select benign samples that help achieve robust online prediction and stable self-training. Although malicious samples that would undermine the model…
As new machine learning methods demand larger training datasets, researchers and developers face significant challenges in dataset management. Although ethics reviews, documentation, and checklists have been established, it remains uncertain whether consistent dataset management practices exist acro…
General-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) systems are built on massive swathes of public web data, assembled into corpora such as C4, RefinedWeb, and Dolma. To our knowledge, we conduct the first, large-scale, longitudinal audit of the consent protocols for the web domains underlying AI training…
Stability, adaptability, and maneuverability are critical performance indexes for underwater biomimetic robots, especially in narrow spaces. However, these aspects can sometimes be contradictory. This letter presents an omnidirectional swimming robot inspired by the whirligig beetle and designed to
Previous LiDAR scene flow estimation methods, especially recurrent neural networks, usually suffer from structure distortion in challenging cases, such as sparse reflection and motion occlusions. In this paper, we propose a novel optimization method based on a recurrent neural network to predict LiD…
